Car

Meaning & Interpretation

The car in a dream often symbolises the journey of life and one's control over it. The key question: are you in the driver's seat or are you a passenger? Are you driving or being driven?

Being at the wheel represents self-determination and actively shaping your own path. As a passenger you are relinquishing control — perhaps intentionally, perhaps not. A car without brakes or out of control points to the feeling of having lost control over an important life situation.

The road you are driving on is also significant: a clear highway represents purposefulness, an unfamiliar country road new territory and exploration.
